Former Little Mix group member Jesy Nelson said she was once injected with painkillers 50 times so she could go on stage with the girl group.
According to her, she was not allowed to rest or recover from illness. To much pressure made her feel like a robot.
The above allegations were in two Little Mix's autobiographies but were never brought to light until the singer quit the band due to health matters.
Jesy stated that she had the injections in 2015 before a massive TV show on music guru Simon Cowell ’s show America’s Got Talent.
The 29 year old singer wrote, “On the day, my shoulder went and I couldn’t move. In the end I had something like 50 injections and my back was smothered in bruises."
She went on to describe how terrible and frustrated she felt.
“Before the show, when I was getting my hair and make-up done, people were feeding me coffee to wake me up. I was so out of it I can’t remember anything much about the performance, just that on stage I couldn’t get my balance. It was awful, the worst thing I’ve had to do. In a normal job you can take a day off and no one has a go at you, whereas in this job if you miss a performance, everyone’s writing articles, commenting on social media and throwing abuse, ” Jesy revealed.
She had earlier stated that when she had a tooth problem she was given very powerful antibiotics that made her vomit asvthe aim was to keep her performing regardless.
The singer also developed an ear problem because of being so stressed due to her worries regarding her mother's serious heart condition.
Jesy said, “The pain got so bad I was in bed screaming. What’s weird in this job is that people don’t seem to believe we get ill like everyone else does – or that the people close to us get ill and we need to be with them.”
She disclosed various struggles she encountered while in the group and how difficult it was to cope, given the group's relentless schedule.
